Daimler

Coventry based Daimler were a major force in the PSV industry. Buses powered by their own engines or the legendary Gardner were common, and their first rear-engined bus the Fleetline was superior to the Leyland trendsetter in many respects - although the same couldn't be said for the single deck Roadliner! Sadly, the company was folded into Leyland, and the sole surviving model was incongruously rebadged as a Leyland in 1975. Fleetline production finished in 1980.
